Match.com
3
Ok the first time I joined match.com was 3 yrs ago, and I met the most Amazing match within my first 2 weeks on there! We met and were inseperable the first 2 months! We actually were together off and on for 3 yrs, and are still friends, since it just didnt work out in the end. I definitely do not regret my experience. I feel that you can't please everyone, and obviously everyone writing here, has had a bad experience on the site, because you just think you post your stuff, or send emails, and that entitles you to automatic responses. Well it doesn't work that way in real life either. There is rejection online and offline. For those who had problems with them charging you AFTER you canceled, then I understand... But for most of you, it seems you didn't read the CONTRACT you agreed with when you signed up. It clearly says when your subscription is up, if you do not Resign your subscription, they will Renew.
I decided to sign up for match just recently on a trial. I met quite a few people who intrigue me, and whom we have been chatting with back and forth... and one or two, whom I would possibly meet. Most of the men, when I asked, say they RARELY do get responses from woman, but some say it just depends, every once and awhile.
[I Updated this paragraph because I think my point was taken wrong] To tell you the truth... sometimes people might not post the best photo of themselves up, you may not get as many people writing you just based off of what you wrote about yourself. And to be honest, most people would not even read your profile, if they don't think your main pic is attractive. I know that sounds harsh, but I am being honest. It is important for someone to be attracted to their possibly future mate, and no one can be mad about that. I think if you really want to get more responses, work on the picture you decide as your main to be an attractive one of you.
In the end, it can seem shallow, but I mean, I think of myself as a caring person, and when I got emails from guys I didn't find attractive, I just wrote them back, and in a lil way gave them an impression that I am not interested. I mean imagine a guy/girl a friend of a friend you are getting set up with..... when you first see that person, you pretty much know right away if you are attracted to them... then you start talking and see how you get along, see what kinda vibes you have... and then you decide if you are feeling them as a friend, a possible mate, or you just don't get along.... well on match.com, you don't get the opportunity to talk, and meet them right away.. you are basing your impression off of the first picture, and initial attraction...
I am just saying, something to think about... I mean I just feel that those going to match.com have unrealistic expectations, like "shopping for the perfect mate"...
But I DEFNITELY know it can work, me an example, and a family member who is now married to that person they met.
Good Luck, make a good impression :-)
